Australia Entry #15 - January 27th - February 23rd, 2025

The Great Ocean Road

Over the month, I had done a lot of planning around making sure my mom had a great time when she visited me in Australia. I may be missing a few of the casual pictures from this time period in this shared folder, but there’s enough from just my trip down to the Great Ocean Road that I think you should go straight to just viewing the images link below.

I was so glad that I was able to rent a car with my new license without any questions and that I felt comfortable driving on the other side of the road. The last of driving itself was over 7 hours, and I while we had a little break back at my apartment, I didn’t feel bad going through most of it. Because of this, I have already booked two more car rentals. One with my friends in Sydney at the end of February and another one for my first ever camping trip that I am planning to do in Tasmania over Easter weekend. I haven’t felt this happy about the future trips I had planned on my schedule in a very long time and I am looking forward to them so much.

After my trip in Sydney, I expect that March will be a slower month. I will focus a lot of my time on work and getting Singapore ready with finishing their storage migration and prepping for their second DR cutover. In my free time I’ll probably do some nearby hikes so that I can test the camping equipment I bought for Tasmania and so that I can make sure my body can handle the schedule I have laid out for it.

I also plan to push myself to finish a few books and play through Final Fantasy Rebirth, all of which together are probably close to 150+ hours of commitment, so I have plenty of things I am happy to spend my time doing beyond just hiking coming up!

Without further ado, please enjoy the videos and pictures.
